Lydia believe's Lingield's 15:00 is the day's best race
"Prince Of Burma is stepping up in grade and must deal with stall 10, but he is vastly progressive and has a lethal turn of foot."
Lydia Hislop manages to make the best of a reduced Saturday card by selecting four intriguing bets...
The best race of what is now a largely weather-beaten Saturday is Lingfield's mile handicap at 15:00. It lacks an obvious pacemaker, which could play to Tarooq's strengths from stall one. He was beaten on merit but in a better race over the course and distance last time, but no longer benefits from the services of Paul Hanagan.
Tarooq dominating is the scenario which could foil Prince Of Burma. He's stepping up in grade and must deal with stall 10, but he is vastly progressive and has a lethal turn of foot. Back him win-only if you prefer, but the ideal bet would also combine the place market which is showing at attractive [2.48] (at the time of writing).
The succeeding mile-and-a-half handicap is also compelling. With so many cases being made for his rivals, it's possible that Art Scholar will drift to the point that he, too, becomes a decent win-and-place play. Given he arrives off a career-best effort and lacks the trip doubts of so many of his rivals, he shapes like a bet anyway.
In Wolverhampton's 2.40pm, Hazzard County faces his easiest task for some time. A steadily run event at Kempton last time didn't play to his strengths, but he still shaped with some promise of an imminent return to his best form.
In the opener at the same track, the relatively consistent Kyncraighe looks overpriced at around 8.6 and the booking of Jamie Spencer suggests intent.
